I see this take frequently. 

It's really funny how those two or three plays influence fans' overall opinion on the kid. 

In reality, ball awareness is an issue, but it's probably only a minor one. He'll be more experienced entering the season this year and the game should slow down for him a bit. I bet the awareness takes care of itself easily as he matures a bit.

As mentioned, hand technique and pad level are areas he needs to polish and I'd rank that well ahead of this inflated perception that he's "lost" out there. 

Those of you saying he's not strong...  I have no idea what you've watched. The kid looks as strong on bull rushes as nearly any 3 tech in the game. He's just raw and he has a full offseason to improve that.  Strength is the least of his issues IMO.

As I mentioned in the other Bryan thread a few weeks ago, I expect he'll rack up some pressures at about a 7% clip and an 11:1 sack ratio on those pressures. 
So, if he gets around 700 snaps at 3 tech, we'd see in the neighborhood of 50 pressures and 4.5 sacks. 
Hopefully he exceeds those numbers, but that would be a solid contribution.
